Companies have been producing extruded foamed products for many years. Most of these are produced using a hydrocarbon based form of blowing agent or other chemical additives. In some cases these are combined with a physical blowing agent such as Carbon Dioxide or Nitrogen, or a physical blowing agent is used by itself.
The MuCell Process is an extrusion foaming process which produces microcellular foamed structures exclusively through the injection of either Nitrogen or Carbon Dioxide in its supercritical state.
The MuCell Process offers the greatest advantage to extrusion processors who MUST HAVE the added performance of very small closed cells or MUST HAVE an environmentally clean solution. The small closed cells improve many properties compared to standard foaming techniques such as impact, ductility, insulation, sealabilty, and appearance.
